CNN Reports Possible Contact Between Trump Campaign and Russia

CNN is reporting that intelligence officials have told both President Obama and President-elect Trump about claims that Russia made an attempt to compromise Trump.

The report states this was presented during the briefings both men got last week.

Reportedly, Russia claimed to have compromising personal and business information on Donald Trump. CNN also says the report contends there was communication between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.

The FBI is now reported to be looking into the charges, though Director James Comey said today he can’t comment on that.

In November, it was reported that a Russian diplomat confirmed that Kremlin was in contact with the Trump campaign.
